| Narrative
of Accident |
The bus was rounding a curve in a
residential area, and went off the right side, hit a drainage pipe
that spun the bus around and rolled it onto its side and slid into
the ditch. 2 Children were sent to the hospital and diagnosed with
mild traumatic brain injuries. One child that had been sent to
school went home with a broken collar bone. The parents were not
notified until after the children were taken to school on another
bus. The 70 year old bus driver had to be cut from his seat belt, so
he couldn't help the kids. NONE of the children had seat belts. |
